Show Notes for May, 29th, 2018

Today we visit Vancouver, B.C., the hidden jewel city of Canada. Vancouver, B.C. is a coastal seaport city in western Canada located in Canada’s westernmost province of British Columbia, which itself lies between the Pacific Ocean and the Rocky Mountains. Vancouver has quick access to mountain skiing, beaches, gorgeous scenery, good restaurants and great entertainment.

We’ll take a look at 2 homes that each are listed on the real estate market for over $16M Canadian dollars (approx. $13 U.S. at this writing).

Real Estate Prices in Vancouver
We’ll also talk about the high price of real estate, since Vancouver is listed as the most high-priced property in all of North America, according to whichmortage.ca and Business Insider.

Control4
We’ll also talk about Control 4, a smart home monitoring system.

Zoocasa Website for Canadian Real Estate

ABOUT FANTASY DREAM HOMES
Hey, I can’t afford these homes, and maybe you can’t either, but it sure is fun to take a peek inside and see what a multi-million dollar home has going for it. All of these homes are at the top end of their real estate market. Come along for this one-of-a-kind virtual tour of spectacular luxury homes.

Along the way, I’ve learned a few things about buying, selling and owning homes that I want to pass along to you. I’ve made many, many mistakes that I can help you to avoid, and I’ve made a good decision or two in my day.

We will look at homes all over the U.S., Canada, Mexico and eventually Europe and the rest of the world. There are so many wonderful homes out there, why should we limit ourselves to one location?

If you’re passionate about homes, luxury real estate, architecture, home decor or making the most of your existing home, this is the channel for you. It is “our” community and “our” channel, so let’s make it a great place with your help, comments, suggestions and ideas. It’s not about “me”, rather it’s about “us”. Thanks for stopping buy and let’s tour some fantasy dream homes!

Cheers!
